Dry roasted soybeans are by far the best way to feed protein to wildlife, especially deer and other ruminant animals that browse for their food. They love the nutty taste, and cannot resist them once introduced on a regular basis. They will return to a feeder over and over like clockwork as if waiting patiently for the feeder to time out, and they will not leave until the soybeans are all gone!
Most hunters are already set up to start feeding Soybean if they are currently using any type of spincast (flinger style), gravity, or bulk feeding system. All of your game feeders that will feed corn or a similar product, will work great with soybeans without any modifications.
The guaranteed nutritional analysis breakdown on Whole Roasted Soybeans is:
Crude Protein: Not less than 35.0%
Crude Fat: Not less than 15.0%
Crude Fiber: Not less than 6.0%
Compared to Corn which has:
Crude Protein: Minimum 7.5%
Crude Fat: Minimum 2.5%
Crude Fiber: Maximum 4.0%
As you can see the deer will benefit from the amount of protein, fiber, and fat that soy beans offer. They will be bigger and healthier animals. When aided by a mineral package and a bio-enzyme, the absorption rate will be even higher, so just imagine the possibilities. Beside being a "SUPER" attractant and holding element, Soybeans give so much more back to the deer population we are all trying to protect and manage. Good luck with your management programs.
